The Icarus lamp shade in white made from many layers of polyester is the latest creation from class designer Tord Boontj. The vast exquisite piece is light in weight with a safety protector in cone shape. The protector does the job of preventing the lamp shade material from coming in contact with the light bulb. It is packed flat so that the assembly is easy and quick.

Maximum rating of the lamp – 60 watts

Drop – approximately 78cm

The name of the lamp shade Icarus is derived from the legend of Daedalus and Icarus who escaped from the evil King Minos of Creten by making wings of wax and feathers.

The Icarus lamp shade design by Tord Boontje has a flowy appearance with a cascade of lightweight, delicate and flexible feathers. Its attractive design drags the attention of one and all and hence makes an ideal centerpiece.

The lamp shade design was created through a paper cutting experiment that aimed at creating a dimensional light form with a structure close to swan’s wing having intertwined feather-like shapes.
